Thank God. A normal person.
Well, except for the not running part. What's wrong with you?
I know! I went to the park with my son instead... I had a great time!
(Oh and today I've opted to eat slightly healthier, I just had mexican with a beer followed by a crispy creme. YUM!) |

Now I'm hungry for tacos! Beer sounds good too, I missed out on having a green beer on Saturday.
I'm much too easily distracted today (must be spring fever)...the old 1999 version of Quickbooks that I'm working with as I try to gather reports for the bank, is just not able to compete with the RA today. |

Are we really playing this game? If so, I'll bite. Perhaps Trent can figure out how many calories I consumed, burned from consumption (digestion requires calories ya know!) and standing around listening to others wax poetic.
Breakfast:
Chocolate brownie Balance Bar
Lunch:
PB&J
Apple
Baby carrots
(I wanted a yogurt instead of half the sandwich which I would have finished later, but I couldnt find a spoon.)
Dinner:
Havent figured that out yet. Maybe a burrito? That sounds good.
After-dinner snacks:
Chevre with crackers.
(Most likely. Other options include some old girl-scout cookies someone brought me in the fall, cookie-dough, or tortilla chips which are stale and pretty unappetizing.) |

This helps too! |

Here is what I eat everday for the most part. This is how I lost 130 Lbs in 1 year and 4 months.
Meal 1- Eggs 5 whites, 1 whole/ apple
Meal 2 - Cottage cheese/ Peanut Butter/ Sugar free jelly
Snack - Beef jerky
Meal 3 - Chicken salad sandwich/ pringles 100 calorie packs
Snack - Sugar free pudding
Meal 4 - Pork chops/ green beans
Meal 5 - Steak/ brown rice/ peas
Meal 6 - Chicken/ corn
Meal 7 - Turkey italian sausage sandwich/ french fries or cheeseburger and fries
Snack - 100 calorie bag popcorn/ yogurt
This is pretty much it. Don't be confused though. This is it, no m & ms, no treats, no nibbles, no free samples at the grocery store, nothing except this, ever. No office party cake, no eating out, nothing off of this list. No juice no nothing. If I don't know for certain what the calories are, I don't eat it. This lands me at about 2800 calories per day. If you give it a try, you might want to adjust the calories according to your size, etc. I run 3 days a week and lift weights the other 3. I take mondays off and never miss a workout.
